Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Although C4 plants use more energy, they are more effective at photosynthesis than C3 plants. They have more chloroplasts in each of their leaf cells. The vascular bundles of C4 plants are encircled by a bundle sheath made up of bigger parenchymatous cells, which are then encircled by mesophyll cells. Contrary to chloroplasts in mesophyll cells, which are smaller and do contain grana, bundle sheath chloroplasts are bigger and do not.
